Hoist A Stein! Cincinnati Area Oktoberfests Coming!

We KNOW it's almost September, but it's time for Oktoberfest in Cincinnati! Yes, we know it says Oktober in the name, but if you wait until the calendar flips you're going to miss almost ALL of them!

Last weekend was the first of many for the Cincinnati (aka Zinzinnati) area! With a HEAVY German heritage, brats, metts and BEER are a strong part of the local culture.

Now the two biggest area Oktoberfests are quite the festival, and the one on Fountain Square is recognized to be North America's largest Oktoberfest! Do they know how to party or what??

So the first big one? Head down to Covington Kentucky's MainStrasse Village September 9 to 11th. Open Friday 5-11:30 p.m., Saturday noon-11:30 p.m. and Sunday noon-9 p.m. German food, music, arts and crafts and rides for the kids! More info at 859.491.0458 or www.mainstrasse.org.

The 2nd one is the granddaddy of Oktoberfests! Oktoberfest-Zinzinnati USA!! With typical attendance pushing half a million, this is one LARGE party! And frankly, there's too much to cover without doing a separate post dedicated solely to this one. But one mention, in addition to everything else: WORLD'S LARGEST CHICKEN DANCE! It's a Cincinnati thing, you just might not understand if you're not from around here! But quick hits on the critical info, Fountain Square, Saturday September 17 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. and Sunday September 18th 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. More info 513.579.3100 or www.oktoberfestzinzinnati.com.

And besides the first two, the Cincinnati Enquirer provides details on plenty more smaller Oktoberfests!

B&L - our family is of German decent -don't let the last name fool you - my husband's Jewish - lol. We Germans love Oktoberfest and it sounds like Cincinnati is the place to be in October! Make sure you get some photos of the festivities to post so we can all live vicariously through you two!
